Welp I did it to myself I guess. (Could you please put it in one of the spots that doesn’t count?)
Is that why they always show the refs standing around....not doing anything?
I'll see what I can do....but for you...I will try!!

You don't watch a lot of football do you?
They only purposely film the white hat, a referee being yelled at by a coach, or when a referee gets hit.

Is this a policy choice or just a practical result of trying to focus on the “interesting action” of the game?

Just thought of another way to shoot myself in the foot;
Squares that rely on our players performing an action while the Big Bowl is playing.
“BDave complains about something”
“KJ challenges a call”
They would have to appear on all cards but their own and they wouldn’t know that their actions were actually a call until after it happens.

As officials we don't want the focus on us. Our goal is to enforce the rules not steal the show. As an example yesterday in my basketball game I officiated, I had 3 calls back to back within 40 sec of game time. In that moment while I agreed with all my calls and felt they were right. The appearance of me inserting myself into the game could be perceived. So as a crew I forced a rotation to ensure that a different official was now in the area I was in.
The best game from an official standpoint is when everyone agrees players, coaches, fans, and officials that the players determined the outcome of the game.
Players do this by playing by the rules, and no extra-curriculars
Coaches do this by not getting unnecessary calls such as unsporting, technicals, etc
Fans stay fans and don't interfere with the game
Officials keep short term memory on interactions with all the above. Don't hold grudges and stay truly neutral. The worst partner is someone at a stoppage says to the crew I'm looking to get #5!
Okay here's a serious question.... So first of all we have to match the pattern , right , but what if the mandatory pattern contains calls that would be a billion to one chance of happening ? Some things that would happen in like the first 10 seconds of a game ? If they don't happen , does that mean that the player is just out of luck ??
See my post above. You would then proverbially be hosed.

As long as a team misses a field goal and then the next team tries an onside kick I should have this thing in the bag!
Meaning you can fair catch a punt and then kick it back to the other team?
